Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 669: Pursuit Kill

Hiss!

Upon hearing Shi Hao’s words, everyone was taken aback.

What guts, to actually say such things to a prince of the Dayan Dynasty.

Did you really not come out from the Ancient World?

It’s true that when the Ancient World closes, everyone gets flung out nearby the original entrance instead of directly through the entrance, but "nearby" after all, how far could it be?

They just need to seal off this city, and as soon as you emerge, they will apprehend you, and torture you as they please.

Impressive!

However, everyone also admired him.

Although they were also displeased with Jin Chongwu’s actions, which of them dared to say anything?

This Founding King Court is truly formidable, and is this really the Founding King Court?

Which Founding King Court can take a hit from the Great Sacrificial Heaven and not die?

Not only did he not die, but he merely spat out a mouthful of blood.

Jin Chongwu stared at the entrance, with killing intent surging in his eyes.

If it were not for the fact that he was the Great Sacrificial Heaven, repelled by the Ancient World, he would certainly pursue Shi Hao, take him down in front of everyone, and brutally execute him by tearing off his limbs.

But he couldn’t enter.

Wait for Shi Hao to come out?

He shook his head. That would be too late, given his temperament, how could he wait that long?

"Xu Yue, you go in, capture that lowly dog from just now, and bring him before me!" he commanded to someone behind him, "If you can’t appear before me within ten days, then there’s no need for you to come back, just end yourself!"

"Yes, my prince!" one man immediately knelt on one knee, respectfully accepting the command, with a slight hint of joy on his face.

He was Xu Yue, an Incense Flame existence, also the Guard Commander under Jin Chongwu’s Martial Mansion, handling some chores for him.

Although the Dynasty had many slots, it wouldn’t possibly fall to a Guard Commander like him, yet with one word from Jin Chongwu, he got a great opportunity.

With a full ten days, he could certainly look for some fortune for himself after capturing Shi Hao.

Whoosh, he leaped up, heading towards the entrance.

The rest watched on, their faces filled with anger, yet they didn’t dare say anything.

—See, Shi Hao didn’t even offend Jin Chongwu just now; he just directly launched an attack to kill. If anyone dares to show dissatisfaction now, they would definitely suffer Jin Chongwu’s ruthless hand.

They are not like Shi Hao, who could escape with his life under the hand of the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

It was only after Xu Yue entered that they resumed their assault.

Boom!

A huge hand fell, repelling them all back.

"What’s the rush?" said Jin Chongwu coldly, "Before that wretched child is captured and brought back, none of you may enter."

If more people were to enter, the entrance would surely reach its limit and explode, then how would Xu Yue return?

They could only wait for the Ancient World to close, then what would be the point of sending out Xu Yue?

Therefore, he must keep the entrance open, to let Xu Yue bring someone out.

Just ten days, can’t you wait?

Besides, what’s wrong with wasting a bit of time, would he care?

Everyone was angry yet dared not speak, and many of them, instead of hating Jin Chongwu, shifted their anger onto Shi Hao.

If it weren’t for this guy, why would they be blocked outside now?

You can’t escape death either way, so why involve them?

...

Shi Hao entered the Ancient World and immediately realized that the rules of this world completely differed from those of the outside world.

"When the dynasty changes, so do its court officials." If heaven and earth themselves have undergone such a transformation, how could the rules of the previous world still apply?

So, this was normal.

Shi Hao tried to understand the rules and found they were severely damaged and beyond comprehension.

The world is the foundation of the rules, and if the world itself has perished, how could the rules still exist?

Shi Hao looked around. Although he was standing on solid ground, he was amidst a starry sky.

What’s going on here?

Because this world had been infinitely minimized, what was under his feet was originally an inhabitable celestial body. One could see buildings destroyed to their foundations, but this celestial body had shrunk to the size of a city.

From here, distant celestial bodies seemed within arm’s reach, at most a few thousand miles away.

Yet under the Great Sacrificial Heaven, none could fly. How then could one reach other celestial bodies?

No matter, there were no rules here, which meant that gravity didn’t exist either. A martial artist only had to prepare enough objects within a spatial spirit tool and then, with a leap, constantly throw objects to generate reaction force and fly towards those celestial bodies in the sky.

Objects were easy to come by, as there were plenty of rubble here, and after all, it’s just a distance spanning thousands of miles.

Because the distance was not too vast, Shi Hao could see that some celestial bodies were shattered, floating in this lifeless universe.

Can the universe, too, die?

Shi Hao thought to himself that all things bear life and death, and even the universe was no exception.

Is it only by becoming an Immortal that one can transcend death?

He pondered this as he strode forward.

In this dead universe, there were still plenty of treasures.

—Spiritual Medicine was out of the question, as life could no longer be nurtured here, making it impossible to find any.

Aside from spiritual medicine, however, there were even more precious treasures.

For instance... the Star Core.

The Star Core is the heart of a celestial body, the source of its power and life, which shows how incredibly precious it is.

But, with the universe in ruins, the Star Core would naturally be damaged and destroyed as well. Only with phenomenally good luck could one find a Star Core that still retained energy, and refining it would bring a terrifyingly great improvement to one’s cultivation and strength.

Beyond that, there was another extremely precious treasure.

—The River of Time.

Within the River of Time, time flowed at an accelerated rate; perhaps a year of cultivation within it would be but a day in normal time flow.

As the Almighty speculated, the River of Time was formed from the world’s very origin, which is why it had such an astonishing effect. novelbuddy.cσ๓

However, this world had already fallen to ruin, and its origin was also in a state of continuous decline, bound to dwindle ever more.

Hence, while there were Rivers of Time centuries ago, finding even a small time pool now would be nothing short of a miracle.

Shi Hao took out the Spirit Exploration Compass, and now was the time for this treasure to shine.

However, the compass displayed nothing but blankness.

Was it because there were no treasures here, or because this was a world of the past generation, rendering the Spirit Exploration Compass ineffective?

As he considered this, Shi Hao sensed someone approaching from behind.

He turned his head and saw a person he did not recognize but had caught a glimpse of before.

—A guard from Jin Chongwu’s side.

Well, Jin Chongwu really was petty, actually unable to restrain himself from sending someone here to kill him?

"Will you surrender yourself, or shall I make my move?" Xu Yue said indifferently, as in his view, although Shi Hao had escaped Jin Chongwu’s strike by some unknown means, the Founding King Court was always just the Founding King Court, how powerful could it truly be?

"Your fate is already sealed. If I make a move, you will suffer more," he added, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an aura of ease.
